Charli English is a painter and creative advocate whose work is deeply inspired by the ocean, sustainability, and the evolving definition of success as an artist. In this episode, we explore Charli’s journey, how she transitioned from measuring success through immediate sales to finding fulfillment in the emotional connections her paintings create.
We dive into the reality of being an artist in today’s world, from navigating slow seasons and self-doubt to dealing with viral social media moments (and the negativity that sometimes comes with them). Charli shares how she balances her passion for art with her role as the CEO of Oak Tree, a youth-led nonprofit empowering changemakers in the Asia-Pacific.
Charli also opens up about her “Trash Pieces” – A collection of paintings made entirely from secondhand and repurposed materials, and why sustainability in art matters.
Whether you're an artist, entrepreneur, or someone seeking inspiration to push through creative blocks, this episode is full of insights on staying true to your craft, embracing evolution, and creating with intention.
